Hello Fada, accent on the Irish Language.
For each show we will be chatting with Renata after her
Irish Language Class held in the back room at the Cafe.
We will discuss a bit about the language and her Irish
experiences, along with a simple word for the day. Of course
we will explain the ‘Fada’ as well.

For You if ……
If you are interested in Irish language and culture generally,
or if you are considering taking a course in the Irish language,
this show is for you. We will include some tidbits of history,
along with notes on pronouncing a word or two, as well as
Irish names and phrases. Will will also ‘attempt’ to teach you
a short song in the Irish if you are willing ! It’s all in good fun.
Most shows are between 5 and 10 minutes long.

This is……
This is an adjunct to our Hedge School Class, and is not a
university course in the Irish language. You do not need to
know anything about the language to start with. Bring your
curiosity.
At the Hedge School we welcome all comments and suggestions.

Steamboat Irish
We have seen how the Irishman Joseph Murphy made the wagons
for hundreds of thousands who came to the American West. The
role of the Irish in the newspaper and publication business has
also been established in this book. Now, let’s take a look at
another preferred form of transportation in the early days,
travel on the rivers, via steamboat.

Can’t afford to pay the extra fee for that satellite dish when
boarding the plane….. well, just leave it at the airport and be
done with it….. and that includes a lot of wheelchairs and crutches,

That’s just what folks do ! Read all about it here:http://www.herald.ie/national-news/lost-and-found–wheelchairs-crutches-urns—a-headstone-1819250.html

2) Did you know that Paul McCartney of Beatles and Wings fame
was born June 18, 1942 in Liverpool, England to parents of Irish
heritage ? His mother was Patricia Mahon McCartney whose father
was an Irish born Catholic. His fathers great grandfather was also
a native of Ireland and was Protestant. That side of the family went
